Have you tried modprobe snd_emu10k1 and then look at the dmesg?

Code:

cd /usr/src/linux

make menuconfig

then

Device Drivers

<M> Sound
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
PCI Devices

choose your card from the list

<M> EMU10K1



save the kernel by choosing exit until you are asked to save it

then

Code:

make

make modules_intall



then install the kernel and reboot

I don't think you should be using snd_emu10k1 with a 24bit soundblaster, check the device drivers in the kernel and find the one labelled Audigy and soundblaster live 24bit, the module should compile as snd_ca0106.

I had the same problem as you when I got my 24bit live, and I think I solved it by completely disabling all old emu10k stuff from the kernel, but it may have just been a coincidence...

Have you unmuted all the sound channels?

They are muted by default.

If you have installed alsa-utils (I think) then you can use alsamixer from the shell prompt to do this.

I've got the same card with the same problem.
I don't have a PCM control under alsamixer.
Did you happen to get sound working?
cheers
